COMPETENCIES

Catalyst for Change

The ability to initiate, implement and support new or modified approaches, practices, and processes in the organization. It involves helping the organization’s members understand what the change means to them, and providing the ongoing guidance and support that will maintain enthusiasm and commitment to the change process. At higher levels it involves leading or sponsoring change initiatives to improve overall process performance.

Developing Others

The genuine intent to foster the long-term learning or development of others through coaching, managing performance and mentoring. Its focus is on developmental intent and effect rather than on a formal role of training. The individuals’ actions are driven by a genuine desire to develop others, rather than simply a need to transfer skills to complete tasks.

Drive for Results

A concern for surpassing a standard of excellence. The standard may be one’s own past performance (striving for improvement); an objective measure (achievement orientation); challenging goals that one has set; or even improving or surpassing what has already been done (continuous improvement). Thus, unique accomplishments also indicate a Drive for Results.

Optimizing Resources

[The ability to understand and effectively optimize organization resources (e.g., people, materials, assets, budgets). This is demonstrated through measurement, planning and control of resources to maximize results. It requires an evaluation of qualitative (e.g., customer satisfaction) and quantitative (e.g., service costs) needs.]

I’m not sure how to word the above so that it fits within the advising scope of the role without making it sound as though the role has the authority to make these decisions.

Strategic Orientation

The ability to understand the business implications of decisions on one’s role and link organizational strategy to daily work. This ranges from a simple understanding to a sophisticated awareness of the impact of the world at large on strategies and on choices.

Teamwork and Cooperation

Working cooperatively with others, being part of a team, and working together as opposed to working separately or competitively. These behaviors apply when one is a member of a group of people functioning as a team.
